I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 167 Devouring and Digestion

"A fanatic?"

Natasha frowned slightly upon hearing this. "Must one be a fanatical believer in God to summon angels?"

Erin scoffed, "Or do you think just anyone can summon angels? Do you really think that God, or the one described in the Bible, is so merciful that anyone can summon an angel to help them? Do you really think interdimensional teleportation is that easy?"

Hearing Erin's slander against God.

Natasha, who was not a believer in God, did not express any opinion on this.

Instead, he nodded thoughtfully after listening.

If what Erin said is true, then everything makes a lot more sense.

otherwise.

Aside from the miracle of the six-winged angel that appeared just now.

Over the years, there has never been a single instance of an angel descending within S.H.I.E.L.D.

but.

If that's the case, then who was it that summoned the six-winged angel in Harlem just now?

Could it be that a prominent figure in Catholicism or Christianity, like those mentioned by Erin, foresaw the calamity of the coming demons and then traveled all the way to New York to summon a six-winged angel to save the world?

In that case, when I get back, I can have the department thoroughly investigate those religious figures who have recently appeared in New York, and see if they can find any clues.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the mysterious person who summoned the six-winged angel was a native of New York.

However, that would broaden the scope of the investigation.

Thinking of this, Natasha's gaze unconsciously turned to Erin again.

Although Erin was vilifying God just a moment ago, he seems to have nothing to do with being a fanatical follower of God.

But for some reason, Natasha always felt that the being who summoned the six-winged angel in Harlem was somehow connected to Erin.

Of course, Natasha didn't have any evidence.

It was just a simple intuition.

Looking at Natasha, whose eyes were darting around.

Erin sighed inwardly.

Still don't believe it?

How did she guess it was me? Is a woman's intuition really that terrifying?

next second.

Erin's eyes, which were as bright as stars, instantly turned deep and became incredibly profound.

When Natasha, who had been watching Erin, met those eyes...

My entire being seemed to be sucked into that incredibly deep, bottomless abyss in an instant.

at the same time.

Unbeknownst to her, the mental energy field emanating from Aston Martin was also constantly invading Natasha's mind, working in conjunction with Erin to modify Natasha's mental perception.

Erin had several failed hypnosis attempts.

This time, no spiritual imprint was left on Natasha's soul.

He merely slightly altered one of Natasha's thoughts, transferring her self-doubt onto a powerful figure in the Papacy.

The possibility that a high-ranking figure within the Papacy summoned a six-winged angel is far more plausible than the speculation that Erin summoned one.

therefore.

Even if Natasha later breaks free from her hypnosis like Norman Osborn or Bucky Barnes, it wouldn't be too strange to find her thoughts at this moment.

She would never have guessed that it was Erin who hypnotized her.

·······························································

A dozen minutes later.

Outside a somewhat old apartment building, Natasha stepped out of Erin's Aston Martin and leaned out the car window to say to Erin, "Thanks. If the information you provided is true, I'll have someone compile a special report for you on information about strange events around the world during this period."

He finished speaking without waiting for Erin's response.

Natasha walked with a sexy gait.

He opened the door of an apartment building by the roadside.

Howard's Apartments!

Looking at the conspicuous sign on the apartment door, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he drove directly back to Chinatown.

The USB drive that Erin gave to Natasha contained some of the last remaining data that Erin had taken from Hydra's base by the Joker's clone. Erin had filtered the data before handing it over to Natasha.

Although the number of Hydra agents on that list was not large.

But as long as Nick Fury's abilities aren't completely useless, digging deeper will eventually uncover some clues about Hydra.

Then there's Nick Fury's suspicious nature.

The next step will definitely be a relentless crackdown on Hydra.

By then, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hydra would be in complete disarray, making it easier for Erin to profit from the chaos.

Then get your revenge.

Let Hydra know just how serious the consequences of provoking them are.

···············

As Erin drove, lost in thought, he kept glancing at the Magician's Ring on his ring finger out of the corner of his eye.

Erin had initially thought that this [Magician's Ring], which carried the magician's legacy, was different from those forbidden items or extraordinary props with serious side effects.

It is an extraordinary item with no side effects.

But I never expected that I would still have misplaced my trust.

The Magician's Ring is not without side effects, but its side effects are not easily detected and are so weak that they are easily overlooked.

If it weren't for my own spiritual cultivation advancing to the level of "entering samadhi"...

He probably still doesn't realize that his recent actions have been unknowingly influenced by the Magician's Ring.

The side effects of the Magician's Ring aren't serious; it's just a gradual buildup of a desire to perform.

After equipping the Magician's Ring, it will unconsciously give the host a desire to show off in front of others.

It's not surprising that a magician who craves attention would easily develop a desire to perform and attract attention.

When he visited Helen before, he disguised the basic Holy Light Healing as magic to treat Helen's wounds, which was probably influenced by this desire to show off.

Not long ago, he summoned a six-winged angel while standing on the rooftop, which was also related to this desire for self-expression.

Otherwise, given Erin's personality, he could have been more cautious and summoned the six-winged angel from the shadows.

In that case, Arlin reckoned that even Tony Stark wouldn't be able to discover his identity.

Ok.

Besides.

The little magic trick he had just performed, which involved turning the silver USB drive into Natasha's chest, was also related to this desire to show off.

He swore.

I really just wanted to perform a little magic trick to shock Natasha.

Who knew that Natasha would mistake it for him flirting with her?

Erin gently rubbed the ring on his hand with his thumb. After a moment's hesitation, he ultimately decided not to take off the Magician's Ring.

"Fine, I'll just consider this a preview of what it's like to be a magician!"

················

After returning to Chinatown.

Erin parked his Aston Martin in the parking lot and then went back to his own home.

At this moment, in the basement of the Erin family home, in a small cold storage room built in conjunction with the laboratory, was the enormous corpse of the Abomination.

The six-winged angel who transported the abomination's corpse to his home had long since vanished, turning into countless points of light due to time constraints.

Arriving outside the basement cold storage, Erin looked at the abomination's corpse inside, gently patted the head of the little monster beside him, and asked:

"This hideous corpse seems to possess some special power. Do you want to devour it?"

Abomination is a substandard version of the Super Serum, a monster born from the combination of Hulk's blood.

Although his potential is certainly not as great as Hulk's.

However, the fact that Abomination was able to suppress Hulk in the early stages suggests that his body also has some secrets.

If the little monster can gain that special power after devouring the abomination, it might also reap considerable benefits.

Rather than trading the corpse of a loathsome creature for something on the scales of fate, Erin would rather let the monster devour the body.

After all, Erin couldn't guess what the corpse of the Abomination could be exchanged for.

What if the corpse of abhorrence is worthless on the scales of fate?

The little monster, which kept tiptoeing and enjoying its master's stroking, glanced at the massive, mangled corpse in the cold storage after hearing its master's words.

It suddenly opened its mouth and made a crisp "crack!" sound.

After the six-winged angel appeared with the corpse of the abomination, the little monster "smelled" the unique, enticing aroma emanating from the flesh.

It seemed that this body of flesh and blood contained a unique power that was constantly attracting it.

only.

Before obtaining the master's permission, no matter how fragrant the abomination smelled, the little monsters never even considered taking a bite out of it.

Even the blood dripping from the abomination was collected by the little monster in a glass bottle, awaiting Erin's disposal.

At this moment, upon hearing that its master was actually preparing to bestow hatred upon it, the little monster, radiating joy, jumped up happily and quickly stretched out its wet, large tongue to lick Erin's hand.

"Stop licking, stop licking..."

"Your tongue is all drooled over, don't wipe it on my hands..."

After finally managing to stuff the little monster's drooling tongue back into the trash can lid.

With half of her sleeve covered in the little monster's drool, Erin glared at her "dog" in annoyance before walking to the sink to clean the sticky liquid off her hands.

Just as Erin turned around...

A gaping maw that nearly filled the entire cold storage room flashed by.

The massive, mangled corpse in the cold storage vanished instantly.

Even the glass bottle containing the blood that had dripped from the abomination was licked clean by the little monster.

At this time.

Ailin, who was facing away from the monster and cleaning the wet liquid off her hands, suddenly said something.

"Remember to brush your teeth after you finish eating. Oh, and Little Monster, clean the cold storage too. Make sure it's spotless. That Abomination looks disgusting; I feel like the cold storage has become filthy since we left its corpse there!"

"Click!"

After hearing Erin's instructions.

A red light flashed across the little monster.

Instantly.

The walls inside the cold storage room began to writhe rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, four showerheads that should have been in the bathroom emerged from the top of the cold storage wall and sprayed water droplets into the cold storage.

At the same time, clean towels, coated with cleaning agent, began to wipe every corner of the cold storage.

There were two mops on the floor, and they were cleaning the cold storage floor back and forth with water droplets and cleaning agent.

The wastewater from rinsing the cold storage flowed quickly into the sewer system through several grooves that suddenly appeared on the edge of the cold storage.

After doing all this.

The little monster huffed and puffed as it ran to the huge pool that had been specially built for it and started brushing its "teeth".

········

After washing the sticky saliva off my hands.

Erin watched as the little monster ran off to brush its teeth, and under its control, it seemed to come alive, spontaneously cleaning the various cleaning tools in the cold storage. He smiled silently.

After the little monster was born.

Not only did she gain a pet that could accompany her and would never betray her, but she also stopped cleaning the house altogether.

This feeling of not having to clean.

It feels so good!

Just as Erin was feeling sentimental.

Erin suddenly noticed a pale yellow halo emanating from the little monster who was brushing its teeth.

Immediately afterwards, the pale yellow halo quickly spread throughout the entire house.

As the halo of light spread, Erin noticed that there seemed to be a pale yellow texture on the walls and floors of the house.

"This is······"

Seeing this sudden change, Erin walked forward with some surprise and touched the wall and floor with his hands.

As Erin stroked the wall, the little monster, who had quickly "brushed its teeth," excitedly jumped to Erin's side.

The large mouth kept making "crackling, crackling!" sounds, seemingly expressing its joy, or perhaps telling a story.

As Erin's mind entered a state of deep meditation, she discovered that she could now seemingly understand the cries of some small monsters.

Stroking the little monster's smooth head, Erin said somewhat uncertainly:

"You mean, after you absorbed some kind of power from the Abomination, you gained a strange ability, making your body much more resilient?"

Seeing that its master understood its words, the little monster happily made a "crackling, crackling!" sound.

Then the big head kept nodding.

Resilient!

The Abomination's skin is impervious to blades and bullets; even heavy machine gun fire and rocket artillery bombardment cannot penetrate its skin defenses.

Could the monster's resilience come from here?

Thinking about this...

Erin had the little monster take out the pistol, submachine gun, and sniper rifle that it had brought to life, and began testing them on the transformed wall.

·······

After a series of tests.

Ailin noticed that the monsters' defenses had indeed become much stronger.

The walls, already revitalized by it, now seemed to be coated with a film, becoming exceptionally tough.

The bullets from the pistol and submachine gun hit the wall but couldn't penetrate its defenses.

Although a sniper bullet can leave a dent in the wall, it will also be bounced off by that invisible membrane.

"good."

After sensing that the monsters had become much stronger defensively.

A smile appeared on Erin's face.

As your own reserved base, the higher the defense of the monsters, the better.

In that case, let's not talk about anything else.

At least when Erin sleeps here, he can sleep a little more soundly.
